Kana's life was fine--Kana had friends and a good relationship with her parents. But that all changed when her father was accused of embezzling funds from his government job. Abandoned by her friends, betrayed by her parents, she moves to a new school. Making friends with the new art teacher might get her involved in more than she was expecting... Filled with action, suspense, revenge, intrigue, and drama, things get exciting quickly. The story was great. It was sort of like a spy story. Things kept yo-yoing back between slow-paced drama, and action and gunfights. There was action, but little goreor gratuitous violence.

The main characters were good. Kana was smart and sympathetic, and could be brave when push came to shove. I don't like heroines who are spineless, or are kick-a** and unrealistic.

The artwork was beautiful. Sort of the "thick, bold, glassy, and smooth" style you can see in other works by Shimotsuki (and also in the mangas by naked ape).

The manga is fairly short at 2 volumes (4 chapters--each chapter is over 100 pages). There was so much more about the characters I wanted to know! I want to know more about Kou! But, being a good manga, it keeps you wanting more tidbits than it can possibly give!
